Title IX
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) prohibits discrimination based on sex in education programs and activities in federally funded schools at all levels. If any part of a school district or college receives any Federal funds for any purpose, all of the operations of the district or college are covered by Title IX.
Title IX protects students, employees, applicants for admission and employment and other persons from all forms of sex discrimination, including discrimination based on gender identity or failure to conform to stereotypical notions of masculinity or femininity. All students (as well as other persons) at recipient institutions are protected by Title IX — regardless of their sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, part- or full-time status, disability, race or national origin—in all aspects of a recipient’s educational programs and activities.
To file a Title IX complaint, fill out the general complaint form button below and indicate that the complaint is a Title IX complaint. You may also contact the Title IX Complaint Coordinator, Jerome Schaefer, Executive Director of Human Resources and Engagement, with any questions.
